Mechanisms of Vegetation Community Self‐Organization Driven by Water Availability in Arid Northwest China

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Precipitation is scarce in arid regions, making water redistribution a key driver of vegetation patterns, especially for non‐zonal vegetation in oases. Nevertheless, the coupling and mutual feedback mechanism between water and vegetation distribution is complex, and it has not been fully addressed. Taking an arid region of Northwest China as a

Flow Processes in a Diffluence‐Confluence Unit on a Large‐Shallow River Under Different Discharges

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding the hydrodynamics of bifurcation and confluence zones is essential for effective river management. This study investigated the complex flow structure in a large diffluence‐confluence unit (width‐depth ratio >100) of the Middle Yangtze River, utilizing systematic field observations of three‐dimensional velocities under low to high

Physics‐AI Synergized Optimization‐Learning‐Simulation Framework for Robust Cascade Reservoir Scheduling Under Future Hydrological Uncertainty

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Coordinated optimization of cascade reservoirs is critical for maximizing a river basin's economic, social, and ecological benefits. However, conventional hydropower scheduling lacks adaptability to complex future scenarios, constrained by seasonal hydrological variability and uncertain inflows.

Future Decline in the Buffering Effect of Canopy Water on Ecosystem Water‐Use Efficiency in Tropical Forests

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests are crucial for mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration and maintaining hydro‐ecological balance by regulating vegetation‐climate feedbacks. However, their ecosystem water‐use efficiency (WUE) is anticipated to decline due to intensifying water stresses, including atmospheric aridity and soil drought (SD). While

Observed Increase in the Spatial Extent of Extreme Precipitation Events Attributed to Anthropogenic Climate Change

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Extreme precipitation events (EPEs) pose severe impacts on human health and the economy, with spatially widespread events typically resulting in greater losses than localized ones. Unraveling the spatial extent of these events is key to anticipating and mitigating their risks, but global insights remain notably lacking.
